MARK—NOTE ON Mark 8:35 Jesus’ teaching here involves a paradox: The person who lives a self-centered life (would save his life) will not find eternal life with God (will lose it), but the person who gives up his self-centered life (loses his life) for the sake of Christ and the gospel will find everlasting life with God (will save it; see v. Mark 8:38).
